While driving the car stalled and eventually stopped running. The battery was still on, but there was no power to the engine. The car needed to be pushed out of the road and towed to the dealership for work.

There is something wrong with the battery charging system, this is a known issue for GM. I've brought it to the dealership to address the issue and they do not know what is wrong or how to fix it. Sixteen times since I got this vehicle it has flashed a warning "service charging system: your vehicle may stall because the battery is not charging properly. Schedule service soon." I obtained this vehicle April 30th with 5 miles on it. They still do not have a fix for this, the dealership stated they would contact me when there is a recall....

My Navigation, Radio, Internet and OnStar went out and continually goes out on a day-by-day basis. I was in a different state, and it was pouring rain, my navigation, radio and OnStar ability was gone. Chevy knows this is an ongoing issue with 2024 and said the radio is back ordered. This car is a 2025 and its still and issue. The ability to fix it has been stated as unknown because they have no fix for the radio at this time in either year. When you rely on Navigation to get you home and it leaves in torrential rainstorm, and you have no idea how to get home that is bad. If I had been in an accident or God forbid rolled down a hill. OnStar would not have been alerted to this and it could be a potential life or death issue. Everything in the front of the car goes out. I am not sure what else is affected as the car is new and I am learning all the different devices. In all states nationwide it is illegal to hold your device, that is why we rely on this technology. There is no lights or failure indication other than the OnStar goes red and the radio goes out. OnStar has stated if my button is red, it's a hardware failure and they will not be alerted, and I will not be able to alert them to an emergency situation.

The vehicle displayed a warning on the dash that the battery was not charging properly and vehicle may stall. The vehicle was checked at dealership and issue was disregarded. 3 days later the vehicle showed the same warning and the battery light flickered, there was a chane in the power and lights dimmed. This was evaluated by dealership, apparently it is a known issue but no resolution available. When the battery light flashed during the second event there was no control over the vehicle (power/steering) creating a very concerning safety issue.
